Title: My first project
Post by: maliciousteve on March 30, 2006, 01:56:35 PM

Well, i don't have to make any of it, but i'm gonna learn how to fully wire a guitar etc. Looks like a very nice body and neck. Can't wait to start it. A Nailbomb is gonna go in the bridge of this thing

Ok cool. What pot would be best, a 250k pot or a 500k pot? Keep in mind i'll be having a Nailbomb in the bridge and i'd want to get a pretty even balance of bass, mids and treble.

Depends how bright you want the sound.  You could go with a 1meg with a Nailbomb, otherwise I would do 500k, not 250.

Cool, thanks for that. I went with a 500k pot with switch craft jack socket. Good stuff

Got the guitar body and neck this evening. Looks very nice. The upper fret access is going to be a bitch. But i'll only be using this guitar for playing rhythm in my bands songs. The solo stuff is gonna be played on my 7 string. But dammit, i ordered the wrong bloody floyd rose nut  :oops:
